The Nets have officially signed first-round pick Mason Plumlee to a rookie-scale contract, the team announced today in a press release. During the July moratorium, first-round picks are permitted to sign contracts with their respective clubs.
Plumlee, 23, will likely receive a 2013/14 salary worth about $1.3MM, as I outlined in our breakdown of salaries for first-round picks. The 22nd overall pick spent four years at Duke, averaging 17.1 PPG and 10.0 RPG in his senior season, and figures to be a big man off the bench for the Nets this season.
